🗺️ Who's travelling where this summer?!

🤩 Here's a small challenge: order your coffee ☕️, ask for directions 🧭, or strike up a conversation 🗣️ in the local language.

Language learning doesn't stop when the school term does. A summer of small, real-world practice can do more for your confidence than a textbook ever could (not that text books are bad of course ...!).

🗺️ Wherever your travels take you this summer, enjoy putting your language skills to the test (in the best way) and let us know where you've been, and how you got on with the local language!
